This morning's Parents at Home meeting was really nice. We had manicures and pedicures (complete with new polish!), hand and back massages, and we made our own bath salts. And the refreshments were outstanding - caramel rolls, blueberry muffins, a fresh fruit tray, and several kinds of chocolate goodies, as well as chocolate candy among all our pampering tables. There was a smaller crowd than usual, but it was so worth it for those of us who attended this morning!
I worked at Runza afterwards, and it was a fun time. Poor Lacey had awful, awful hiccups, and we couldn't stop laughing over it (I know that
wendywoowho feels her pain, however). And Brett was really off his game today, and it was amusing to see him either mess up or drop nearly everything he touched (but only because it wasn't ME messing up!). It's nice to know he's human, too. Karen stopped in for a surprise visit from Runza National, but everything checked out fine. She also brought us a plate of holiday goodies, and there were even miniature cheesecakes - yum!
We received two big packages containing Christmas presents today, plus nine Christmas cards from family and friends, including ones from
flyingwolf,
toddzgrrl02,
minivan_mom,
owensboro_hope and a joint card from
dottey and
kechara. There was also a super-special registered letter we had to pick up from the post office that turned out to be the handmade, scrapbooked card all the way from
psychater in Singapore - so neat! Thanks so much, all of you!
I took more pictures of the damaged snowman jars, and then we tossed all the broken bits into a box and sealed it up before putting it in the trash (don't want to cut the poor trash guys next week). Then Philip hung two shelves for me in the dining room, and he helped me to put all the coat and hat hooks up in the boys' rooms. Now I'm going to vacuum the floors and clean the bathrooms once again, and then I think we'll be all set for my parents' visit tomorrow. I can't wait!
